Converting from Object[][] to ImageIcon

I am trying to convert my object[][] to an ImageIcon. I current have a public Object[][] images; where I store my images. How do I convert this to an ImageIcon so that I can use it to put it into my JTable? I have tried this:

for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
...
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(images[i].toString());
    // add to table
}

Nothing shows in my table and if I print the value out from the cell this shows: [Ljava.lang.String;@72787a6f

Thanks for any answer.

Solution

  • You have a 2D array so you need to use another index to reference the element at row i column j

    for (int i = 0; i < images.length; i++) { 
       for (int j = 0; j < images[i].length; j++) { 
            ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(images[i][j].toString());
            ...
       }
}

    It would make more sense to use a String[][] array
